I wasn't planning on a redesign, but after a bit of inspiration from
@dthompsondev.bsky.social
, the wheels started turning. I knew I had to create something more impactful and story-driven. Iām locking the editor on this portfolio for at least 6ā12 months.

Been playing with Blazor and found some cool differences from React. Blazor puts UI first and logic at the bottom, but you can move the logic into a clean ācode-behindā partial class to keep things tidy. Routing is also simple: just add an @page declaration in the component.

It's chili season! That's right, there are beans, jalapeƱos, green chillies, and it's amazing. Once the temp gets below 50 I'm ready for some chili. How do you like your chili?

Dockerized my pickleball scoreboard app and moved it from Azure ($15/mo) to Render (free). Containerized a React + .NET 9 monorepo, fixed CORS, OAuth redirects, Vite env vars, and DB configs. Cleaner deploys, better dev/prod exp., zero cost. Love when refactors simplify things.

I finally gave my website an overdue redesign. New layout, cleaner UI, and a much better reflection of my current work. It feels good to bring some life back into something thatās been sitting stale for a while! Iād love your feedback. What do you think of the new design?

When you put things to a vote, anything can happen, and in my family, that usually means taking the road less traveled. You found the dark side of the moon. š Itās a trick, not a treat. Better luck next year!

I was digging through the garage looking for lights and only found one strand of red. I hung them up anyway, but when my neighbor got home, I had to tell him that next year Iām going to need at least two or three. His single strand barely covered my doorway.

Playwright might be my new favorite tool. Just added end-to-end tests to my Pickleball app, watching it log in and play a full match on its own was wild. Letās see how long before I start breaking tests.

Playing guitar taught me that progress happens one messy session at a time. You donāt always notice improvement until one day your fingers just move smoother, faster, and easier. Same thing with coding. Stick with it. Play through the noise.

Playing softball reminds me how much team dynamics matter, on the field and in code. You donāt always need to be the slugger. Sometimes you just need to get on base, make the throw, or call it early. Everyone has strengths. The gameās better when we play to them.

Jiu-Jitsu taught me how to stay calm when things fall apart. You can be losing, stuck, gassed out, but if you stay cool, you can find a way to capitalize. Turns out thatās a useful skill when your app crashes and the logs arenāt helping. Keep breathing. Keep debugging.

Had some time for PennyWise and hit a small snag. I forgot the "Name" field in my wireframe. I didnāt notice until I added test data. 1 DB migration, 6 component refactors, 1 hook tweak, and a type update later⦠It's back. The ripple effect is real. Probably wonāt forget again.

Between working on budgeting & projection tools for PennyWise (my Next.js + Supabase app), I've been expanding into C#/.NET. Thereās a real elegance to how things are structured in C#, especially around method organization and data handling, but I still wish the curly braces were on the same line.

I did it! Touched grass! My wife still refuses to try Jiu Jitsu. Her exact words: āRolling around with sweaty people, feet, getting squished, trying to kill each other? No thanks. I get enough elbows just sleeping next to you.ā She does love pickleball, so now I always have someone to play with.

Debugging a quirky auth bug I canāt ignore. OAuth users load fine, auth completes before the dashboard shows. Email/password users hit the dashboard before client-side auth, so no sidebar user info until a refresh. Thinking about delaying the load. Anyone fix this cleanly?
